Zion lost a tooth and other updates

To start off, things have been very busy around here lately. The boys recieved their school books in the mail a couple weeks ago, and are very excited about getting started on school. Zion is going to be in first grade, and will do the Abeka via video program just like he did last year. Riah will be starting school this year, so that’s going to be a challange to me. He really shouldn’t start till next fall since he’s only 4 but he really wants to do school. So i just ordered him a few of the basic books from Abeka 4 year old kindergarden and will be teaching him myself this year. We shall see how it goes. The playroom is being transformed into a school room. It now has desks and school stuff on one half of the room and toys on the other half. It should be interresting to see how things go this year. The boys officially start school on Monday, Aug. 13.

Last Sunday night, Trevor, Zion and Azariah sang a special at church. They sang “Thy Word”. It was very cute. I was so proud.

Here they are…aren’t they adorable?

Moving on…Glorianna has been cutting teeth like crazy. She has quite a mouthfull nowl. This past friday she started running a fever and was overly cranky and moody. While checking things out, I noticed her “I” teeth are almost through. I don’t know for sure if this is what is causing the fever or not, but she’s been running one pretty steady since friday morn. She isn’t eating very well and doesn’t want to sleep either. I’m pretty wore out. If she’s no better tomorrow I may just call the doctor and make sure there isn’t anything else going on with her.

Zion’s 2 bottom teeth have been very loose for a while now. I’d say they’ve been loose for a good month or so. Anyway…i wasn’t sure exactly when they were actually going to fall out when all of a sudden it happened. We were sitting on the couch a little while ago watching Trevor piddle with something on the laptop and Zion says “my tooth fell out!” I looked up and sure enough, there it was lying in the palm of his hand. SO we took and picture of it and he got a quarter from me. He’s very excited…this is such a big deal for him. Now i guess we’ll just have to wait and see how much longer the other takes to fall out. I’m guessing it’ll be out in the next day or two.

In other news…

We picked our first pepper off one of our pepper plants today. Isn’t it cute?
Our garden is producing very well…a little to well if you ask me. I’m so sick of grinding and bagging zucchine. If I didn’t love zucchine bread so much i’d give it up. And now we have butternut squash to bag and freeze as well. I’m thinking maybe I should just start my own veggie stand somewhere.

Well I better go get Glorianna to sleep …she really needs it and so do I.
